glmnet: Multiclass Classification

# nolint start
library(mlexperiments)
library(mllrnrs)

See https://github.com/kapsner/mllrnrs/blob/main/R/learner_glmnet.R for implementation details.

Preprocessing

Import and Prepare Data

library(mlbench)
data("DNA")
dataset <- DNA |>
  data.table::as.data.table() |>
  na.omit()

feature_cols <- colnames(dataset)[160:180]
target_col <- "Class"

General Configurations

seed <- 123

      yes = 1L,

}

Generate Training- and Test Data

  type = "stratified",

test_x <- model.matrix(
  ~ -1 + .,
  dataset[data_split$test, .SD, .SDcols = feature_cols]
)
test_y <- dataset[data_split$test, get(target_col)]

Generate Training Data Folds

fold_list <- splitTools::create_folds(
